Wow. I think it looks fabulous! Thank you!

I am short on time today for detailed review, although I don't think a detailed review will yield too many
comments from me.

But I took a quick run through it and I think it looks really good, and nothing stood out as an "I would
change that."

Are you okay with my distributing it now to Jessica Lall, Andrew Thomas and Miranda Paster?

1 ) Attached is a whittled-down Powerpoint layout (feel free to whittle it down still more in
the layout if you like. ..use your judgment.) Miranda reviewed and we discussed earlier
this week. I incorporated her suggested changes (minor.)

2) I previously sent you a link to the Google Drive photos, if you need me to send it
again, just let me know. The name of the BID should be in the filename for all the
photos.

3) Under separate cover, I'll forward some layout styles and/or actual reports that I like.
But feel free to use your judgment or suggest ones you like. It's hard to find reports
online that are similar in nature/content to this one. There are a lot of business/annual
reports and a lot of government reports/studies, both of which trend a lot wordier than
this. This is sort of a marketing "light" format with a bit more substance - 1 have had
trouble finding reports quite like it.

I don't really have any preconceived notions of what the layout should look like, other
than going a bit more modern and/or urban than the last one. I think the last one laid out
the content well, so feel free to use that as a reference as well as my Powerpoint. I'm
attaching the prior SOTB Report in case you don't have it electronically. I have no
attachment to a portrait or landscape layout - your choice.

4) Let me know whenever you need input or assistance - I'm here to help. Thank you for
offering to do this!

Warmest regards,

TARA DEVINE
